I've seen too many JWT tokens that it is very natural at this point

I keep hearing from friends and seniors that Gen Z doesn't take accountability for their work, and the sentiments the author has shared in this article are dot to dot relatable. I really don't care that they lack grammar and prefer short words (no cap fr fr), low attention span is just irritating and hard to deal with.

n00b/serious question - What's the point of these ports?

Outbox Pattern is just that. Put a connecter (e.g Golden Gate for Oracle DB or Debezium) and get it done.

Keeps things simple and reliable.

The only drawback we saw was that there will be few second of latency as system scale; if that doesn't matter

> One of India’s concerns is that once EU makes the shift, obsolete phones and equipment could be dumped in India, a second official said.

India always have been a huge market for slightly old models; which are more affordable. Anyone who wants an iPhone can't afford the latest because of the price tag.

Never read a better summary before -

> These domains are strongly associated with fraudulent activities and high-risk investments which take advantage of people who are suffering from economic hardship and growing global wealth inequality. Few to no legitimate use-cases for this technology have been found; instead it is mostly used for fraudulent “get rich quick” schemes and to facilitate criminal activity, such as ransomware, illicit trade, and sanctions evasion. These projects often encourage large-scale energy waste and electronics waste, which contributes to the declining health of Earth’s environment. The presence of these projects on SourceHut exposes new victims to these scams and is harmful to the reputation of SourceHut and its community.

I'm going to send this to everyone who I know is involved in crypto/blockchain.

My normal screen looks weird (opposite to zoomquilt; everything is zooming out from the edges).

Is that normal?

I like how tax brackets are in India.

250k-500k - 5% 500k-1000k - 20% 1000k- ∞ - 30% (figures in INR)

the brackets varies every FY, but are same more or less.

It doesn't discriminate with border cases.

I joined a new company recently (during pandemic; July). The onboarding was not so smooth. I was constantly following up here and there to get things done (e.g access to tools with IT), more importantly to get to the part with whom do I need to follow up and how to follow up; figuring this out was another follow up.

I created an onboarding guide last week (for my team) which was a very small thing for me (created a document on confluence in an hour). But the amount of response I got was overwhelming (IMO bit too much compared to how i expected to be yet-another-document).

>In the case where the claim is ambiguous, we will err on the side of the developer, and leave up the repository unless there is clear evidence of illegal circumvention.

Initially I noticed this behaviour on my work laptop (where I've joined recently); where I was able to get the app working as soon as I used to switch my location to Home (non-VPN/Proxy). I though it has something to do with work configuration.

For past few days I'm also experiencing the similar behaviour on my personal laptop.

Does it work offline?

The iPhone has a very smooth process of upgrading the phone. You turn on the new iPhone next to your old one, it prompts and voila. It's like upgrading hardware of your current phone.

I'm unsure if we're at a point where these things are even feasible. e.g I have configured my MBP a lot, the .zsh file, home directory and endless configuration.

I would not be surprised if they ditch the kernal completely, and make everything an App (much like chromebook)

So far, they are only covering P2P cases. Not payments to vendor/shop/businesses, which requires scanning a QR code.

Remind me of the Andrew's Intel story, when they decided to stop focusing on memory and moved entirely to building micro-processor, which worked out pretty-pretty well for them.

Looks like it's best of both word situation for IBM.
